lowrider Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 (edited) I have the mystery machine. So, my tranny’s been sounding like a bag of rocks for a while, t/o bearing screeching like a banshee, and overall the driving experience in the potato has left a lot to be desired. I go over to Visions NE after work yesterday to fix my parking light harness (don’t ask) and on the way home, get to the lights by the airport on Barlow. Pull away in first --- noisy as hell Quickly shift into second – oh your god its loud Shift into third and let go of the clutch ------ BAAAAAAANNNNGGGGGG!!!!!! CRASH!!!!!! THRASH!!!!! POP!!! And no forward momentum anymore Pull over, shut it down. JAM it into first and pull away, still loud nasty noises coming from the tranny, but its moving. About 5 mins later, a quiet pop and all the noise is gone. All of it. The truck has never been better. I think this crew is who needs to solve this one: Edited July 28, 2006 by lowrider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimGreg Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Probably whatever was clunking got ground down to nothingness and the noise went away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same could be said of any vehicle you own and beat on. Things break and it's not new. Why expect perfection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are then I will stand corrected if not then I stand by my origianl comment. I'm not even dignifying this with a response. There's a reason mine's listed $1500 cheaper than any other 4 door in the trader. Aaron, you're absolutely right. I just can't bear the thought of working on that truck one more time. I've spent a fortune keeping the thing alive, and it won't stop breaking (even though i had to stop wheeling). I'd rather work on something else, just not do alternator no. 6, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Fair enough... Sounds like you bought a lemon to begin with or beat the tar out of it and fixed it poorly. Sorry, not trying to be insulting. That said, I can kill any vehicle made, even within a reasonable time frame, like a few hours... Sorry you had suck a poor experience with yours but we all have to make choices. I'll miss your posts, try not to a stranger. I'd like to hear of your trials with your replacement vehicle also... Good Luck. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
